Case Summary:

A Ph.D. candidate/graduate assistant engaged the services of North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Our client, who holds an M.S. obtained from his birth country of India and years of experience in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, had the necessary credentials to qualify for the national interest waiver.

As part of our approach, we diligently accounted for our client’s research projects on synthesizing and characterizing novel macromolecules for pharmaceutical and medicinal purposes. We established that his work directly contributes to developing new compounds and synthesis methods for pharmaceuticals and thus, impacts the United States healthcare industry. Other influential experts in our client’s field concurred, and they offered letters of recommendation to support him. One of these experts wrote, “In his research efforts to address some of the most critical and prevalent health issues known to the United States as well as around the world, [Client] has provided extensive research examining treatments and drug development for diabetes and antimicrobial treatments. His research has expanded the scope of knowledge in pharmacology research.” Alongside these letters was further evidence of our client’s many professional accomplishments. For instance, we detailed his 6 publications and the 60 citations they had gathered at the time of filing.

We are pleased that our comprehensive NIW petition packet lent a hand in persuading the USCIS to approve our client’s petition; they granted their approval less than three months after we filed the case on our client’s behalf. We join our client in celebrating this milestone.
